Victor's Song (Lonesome Lonestar Man) This is from the movie "Local Hero", where it is sung at the ceilidh by visiting russian Victor. It's not clear whether this is a traditional song, or written specially for the movie. It does not feature on the soundtrack album by Mark Knopfler. [Intro] C F C G C G [Verse]

C                F            C
Guess that I was born to be a rover,

Am                F              C      G
Guess I've always been a rolling stone

C                F                  C    C G/B Am
But someday when my roving days are over

C      F      C        G       C       G
I will find a place to call my own

[Chorus]

      C        F                    C        C G/B Am
Cause even the lone star state gets lonesome

Am               F               C      G
Lonesome as the lost ship on the sea

C          F                        C        C G/B Am
Cause even the lone star state gets lonesome

C        F     C         G         C     G
Lonesome for a lone star man like me

(musical interlude) C F C Am F C G [Chorus]

      C        F                    C        C G/B Am
Cause even the lone star state gets lonesome

C        F     C         G         Am  D7
Lonesome for a lone star man like me

C        F     C         G         C
Lonesome for a lone star man like me
